\"image\"<\/strong>TEDxSamsung celebrates TEDx’s fourth<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

TEDx is now 4! This past Saturday, March 23, TEDx celebrated this milestone with a global birthday party, convened by TEDx organizers, volunteers and fans worldwide. There were cakes, candles, wishes and even a kite or two — all paired with enough enthusiasm to last another four years and beyond.<\/p>\n

With 6,417 events in 149 countries and 1,777 cities over the past four years, and now over 25,000 talks online, the TEDx program would be nothing without its ever-expanding network of dedicated and hard-working volunteers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, take a moment and toast them and 4 years of TEDx with a selection of favorite sweet treats and tweets from TEDx’s 4th:<\/em><\/p>\n
